People Can Fly’s Project Maverick is Confirmed as Gears of War: E-Day

Bulletstorm, Gears of War: Judgment, and Outriders developer People Can Fly announced a couple years ago that it had started development on an Xbox exclusive title codenamed Project Maverick, with rumours claiming later that the game was a PvP shooter based on an existing Xbox IP. It turns out, however, that it’s a game that we already know about.

In January, People Can Fly officially confirmed that it was providing development support on The Coalition and Xbox’s Gears of War: E-Day, and it’s now confirmed it as Project Maverick. Caught by XboxEra, on an About Us page on its official website, the studio lists the upcoming third-person shooter among its ongoing projects, and confirms it as Project Maverick.

People Can Fly is currently also working on Project Gemini alongside Square Enix, and Project Delta, which is based on an IP owned by PlayStation.

Gears of War: E-Day is in development for Xbox Series X/S and PC. A release date hasn’t been announced for the game, but allegedly, the game is targeting a 2026 launch.
